The Company

Space Inventor is a satellite manufacturer focusing on providing microsatellites in the range from 10 kg to 150 kg using a modular and scalable platform where high performance, reliability and innovation form the common denominator. Since our foundation in 2015 we have worked on developing and demonstrating a complete range of subsystems - all with a modular design to enable interchangeability and/or scalability for accommodation in all sizes of small satellite platforms. Inventions are the core of our DNA and we never settle for mediocre - we want our satellites to live up to trustworthiness and capabilities expected by the people who put their faith in our products. From our head office in Aalborg, Denmark we service clients all over the globe with innovative satellite technology and space mission expertise. 

We work with some of the most renowned names in Space as well as companies on the rise and startups. With both commercial as well as governmental clients in our portfolio we have a solid understanding of the new space market which allows us to adapt our development efforts accordingly. Space Inventors’ team counts some of the most experienced profiles in the industry with successful track records in delivering products and services for many types of missions. In addition to our head office, we have departments in Copenhagen and Bangkok. 

At our head office we have a variety of in-house facilities to support the process from design to flight-ready satellites and subsystems, these count several production labs, test labs, cleanrooms, thermal vacuum chambers, climate chambers and vibration tables. Having the necessary machinery and tools at hand allows us to work in-depth with all aspects of our product development stages. We have an adaptable production space, so whether we are building complete satellites or single subsystems we are prepared for the task.
